In advance I’m sorry you’re the one to receive this comment, it’s not your fault, but can we please retire this joke now? It really was funny for the first ten years, but it’s on literally every post even adjacently comparing something to something else now and I think we have to at least give it a break.

As a senior developer I have serious doubts about the whole thing. Yes, I don’t do tedious typing anymore, now I do extremely tedious code review all day, my least favorite part of the job. And I have to be very vigilant because the AI is an idiot more often than not. Then when I finally publish my own code it’s time to go review my colleagues’ ai code and figure out what they missed in their review.

I don’t feel much of a productivity multiplier. I’m not saying we won’t get there, but this current iteration ain’t it.
